The military style snare beat was genius. Makes me want to stand at attention!! 😂

There are certain instrumentals that deserve to be and remain untouched. This is one of them.

The hook on this song is amazing, I'm never gonna forget this song

This song is great for when you need a good think

This is probably my favorite Em song. From the production, to the lyrics, to the flow, to the tone, the concept, everything... It’s just so good.

That snare beat! 🤩 1000 % poise increase in Elden Ring! 😎

People get Eminem wrong he’s so thoughtful and humble, and great music.

I tried rapping this, it was too late to stop it. There is a certain line you just don't cross and I crossed it.

i just got done listening to the original "Like Toy Soldiers" by Martika...now I like this song so much more. Wow.

This song contains a drum sample from Quincy Jones's 1972 The Hot Rock movie soundtrack "Main Title" song.

Those marching snares sound so sad to me..

The purest example of this beat sound is: Childhood

These snares... so perfect

for anyone curious, in Martikas song "Toy Soldiers" at the 4:06 mark is where the chorus is lifted from

Step by step, heart to heart, left right left We all fall down Step by step, heart to heart, left right left We all fall down like toy soldiers Bit by bit, torn apart, we never win But the battle wages on for toy soldiers I'm supposed to be the soldier who never blows his composure Even though I hold the weight of the whole world on my shoulders I ain't never supposed to show it, my crew ain't supposed to know it Even if it means goin' toe to toe with a Benzino it don't matter I'd never drag them in battles that I can't handle unless I absolutely have to I'm supposed to set an example I need to be the leader, my crew looks for me to guide 'em If some shit ever does pop off, I'm supposed to be beside 'em That Ja shit I tried to squash it, it was too late to stop it There's a certain line you just don't cross and he crossed it I heard him say Hailie's name on a song and I just lost it It was crazy, this shit went way beyond some Jay-z and Nas shit And even though the battle was won, I feel like we lost it I spent so much energy on it, honestly I'm exhausted And I'm so caught in it I almost feel I'm the one who caused it This ain't what I'm in hip-hop for, it's not why I got in it That was never my object for someone to get killed Why would I wanna destroy something I help build It wasn't my intentions, my intentions were good I went through my whole career without ever mentionin' And that was just out of respect for not runnin' my mouth And talkin' about something that I knew nothing about Plus Dre told me stay out, this just wasn't my beef So I did, I just fell back, watched and gritted my teeth While he's all over T.V. down talkin' a man who literally saved my life Like fuck it I understand this is business And this shit just isn't none of my business But still knowin' this shit could pop off at any minute cause Step by step, heart to heart, left right left We all fall down like toy soldiers Bit by bit, torn apart, we never win But the battle wages on for toy soldiers There used to be a time when you could just say a rhyme And wouldn't have to worry about one of your people dyin' But now it's elevated cause once you put someone's kids in it The shit gets escalated, it ain't just words no more is it? It's a different ball game, you call names and you ain't just rappin' We actually tried to stop the 50 and Ja beef from happenin' Me and Dre had sat with him, kicked it and had a chat with him And asked him not to start it he wasn't gonna go after him Until Ja started yappin' in magazines how we stabbed him Fuck it 50 smash him! Mash on him and let him have it Meanwhile my attention's pulled in another direction Some receptionist at The Source who answers phones at his desk Has an erection for me and thinks that I'll be his resurrection Tries to blow the dust off his mic and make a new record But now he's fucked the game up cause one of the ways I came up Was through that publication the same one that made me famous Now the owner of it has got a grudge against me for nothin' Well fuck it, that motherfucker could get it too, fuck him then But I'm so busy being pissed off I don't stop to think That we just inherited 50's beef with Murder Inc And he's inherited mine which is fine ain't like either of us mind We still have soldiers that's on the front line That's willing to die for us as soon as we give the orders Never to extort us, strictly to show they support us We'll maybe shout 'em out in a rap or up in a chorus To show them we love 'em back and let 'em know how important it is To have Runyan Avenue, soldiers up in our corners Their loyalty to us is worth more than any award is But I ain't tryna have none of my people hurt and murdered It ain't worth it, I can't think of a perfecter way to word it Than to just say that I love ya'll too much to see the verdict I'll walk away from it all 'fore I let it go any further But don't get it twisted, it's not a plea that I'm coppin' I'm just willin' to be the bigger man If ya'll can quit poppin' off at the jaws, well then I can Cause frankly I'm sick of talkin' I'm not gonna let someone else's coffin rest on my conscience cause Step by step, heart to heart, left right left We all fall down like toy soldiers Bit by bit, torn apart, we never win But the battle wages on for toy soldiers

prolly the best instrumental i've seen here. thanks and great job!

Eminem's best song ever

step by step.. heart to heart.. left right left.. we all fall down, like toy soldiers..

I’m suppose to be soldier who never loses composure.

damn.. gave me goosebumps like 3 times...

Waiting for this moment

This song got 32 bar verses!

2016 and still haven't gave up one day

had to listen to this, my cuz puppy died

I’m not going to collapse

man this is so close to the real thing just at 0;35 there is a random sound incease in loudness...its small but enough for me to be thrown off....either from that you did a mint job!!

God bless all those soldiers that give their life for the wellbeing of others

Why do I feel like this would go hard with many men

Drums sampled from Quincy Jones I think 🔥

I love you man and don't you ever forget it I hope your looking down so you can see me now see how it all played out I miss you more then you'll ever know about!

I need to sew another seed excuse me I can’t collapse

Great Job!

I got so many homies dead in fucked ways, I'm think imma cover this shit and make it about em, I feel it so much its ridiculous its almost fate

great job man =)

wen i listen to diz i feel like life closeing in me bt still i stand tall nd rap wat i feel inside

I nailed this

This is really good, keep up the good work, but there is on mistake I found. At 0:19 the drum changes from the deep bass sounding one to the military snare drum, whereas in the original song it doesn't do that. Apart from that, GREAT WORK!!!!!11

I’m tired of the shit that I always seem to get got me feeling depressed with some shit I seem to stress I’m tired wired up with this mess can’t seem to vent I’m tempt to go and just end this beef before Im dead

@jaysim11shen This the best one i have found so far well done cheers :D!!

EMIN3M:My all-time favrite rappa

@TentionOfficial you're right, it would be much better than what it's become

Rapped it like a king :p

Nice

There’s a man on my desk He’s lookin’ into my eyes A little wooden toy soldier Like the ones givin’ their lives Yeah, there’s a tear in his eye But there’s a smile on in his face A .22 in his right hand, just an empty bullet case He makes me think of the emptiness that I feel in my soul And even though I’m smiling outward inside you cannot console I don’t need a hand to hold or a shoulder for my head Man, that shit’s gettin’ old because I wish I was dead And if you think I’m a Joker, well then go head and call Robin Cuz Imma make all you Riddlers think, but me there’s no stoppin’ I got a fire inside, the type that just keeps on growin’ And if you wanna make me stop, I promise you there’s no slowin’ Yeah, there’s a time for crying and a time to be quiet And there’s a time for dying now baby girl can you spy it? Cuz I was never the one to make you smile and laugh This game of love is a war, I didn’t sign up for draft I wanna make peace and chill it Don’t wanna beat love and kill it Your eyes are burning so red, make me feel like a skillet And you’re thinkin’ of him, girl I know that you are But I was always your planet, and baby you were my star And now the light’s dyin’ out, and it’s really so sad Cuz I never meant to hurt you, meant to hurt you so bad So if you wanna walk out, then I am no one to stop it Just remember I was here for you when all else said “drop it” No you don’t care about me, you’re just in it for you You just wanna make everybody ‘round you like a fool Man, I’m done with this shit, but I’ll see you tomorrow Let me write down my address, you got a pen I could borrow?

By RIP you mean return if possible.

I remember a place,and i remember a time and i remember a guy who could rap all day without even tryin. Now times have changed,and you cant even look at a man without dying sometimes i can hear all these children crying.Wishin thier dad had not had died but i dont wanna tell them that theyre just wastin ther time.So i come to help, man im really tryin.For me and james were just trying to survive,evryday i fear that my boy will get shot alive.Making this rap hurts, and its only the first verse.

talk about losing a friend that was there for you til the end he never put around bend put you in other problems not even other squabbles said he handled quite well but he got killed in September and my sadness disappears in November, then in December , the 27th was a day to remember. young little boy playing with his toys got shot once to the It was on Impact now he's dead this is a story I can't believe so I'll end by Saying Rest in Peace.

your all innit for recognition I get it but thats not like me i'd tell my story and every reason I keep fighting. I got haters left and right imma grip this mic and recite it cause i been thru this in this life and its not exciting were im residing, thats why i keep my composure; when its comes to beef, i take care of that shit til i see that its over imma soldier i know how to kick rocks an not smoke em

Nigdy nie chciałem być jak reszta , może to strona moja lepsza , a skoro motam rap to moja będzie pierwsza, pomoc z strony dźwięku Kiedyś nas było pięciu Dziś sam bez instrumentu Rozpisane stek stor Który pochłaniał z każdych wieczór Nie każdemu można ufać lecz każdy musi upaść Jutro nowy dzień najlepsze musisz mu dać Nie czekam już na moment Bo świat to nie ziomek Wbijam h##a a na koniec korek zbyt długo bycie sam Zrodzi się z ciebie bestia Jestem człowiekiem z wiecznym grzechem Nie jest tak że otym niewiem Nie możesz być tu pewien Natomiast aby owierzyć to musisz się z tym Zmierzyć ,

Eminem, Tony Yayo

He heard that first explosion, gun fire and melted metal, he felt a gentle touch greet him home to help him settle, a folded flag and pelt of medals to his mom, with an regretful letter sent to tell her that he ain't comin' home he was heaven bound as his mental went ghost, he had awoken not wanting to breath his last breath, he pulled himself out of the wreckage and took a half step sliding behind the motorcade flipped over he noticed brains splattered right next to him, a cadet's but he didn't know his name, one of the original soldiers he had enlisted with was mission's his leg and bullets where closin' in on him, disheveled and disorientated he ran to save his friend but just then a bullet from enemy fire grazed his head, he shrugged it off, as he instinctually went to grab his brother, he'd gotten tagged enough to kill any man so he ran for cover, he heard his friend die, and lost it he notified the enemy that he was going to fight, they stopped firing at him, he slumped over might of lived but he saw that glow again that's when he hoped to fly, with angels he said I love you mom and that was when he had closed his eyes

christ almighty these are long ass verses

I'm supposed to be the boy who'll never be a hero//Fall behind lines and become the zero Already lost myself to the life's unforgiving theme//Seems to be a new trend, or so it seems. Neglect made me strong//But now it's tearing me part//Like a blade that's just cutting through my heart. I know I'm supposed to be the bigger man//Although I'm just a kid a heart//I'll never get to play my favorite part. A tool to society and it's wickedness//Never makes sense, though it's evident

I wrote a little rap(still writing it's just the starting) Modi diss(pm of india diss)(lol yeah it ain't a diss type beat but nevermind) So it goes- My mind's full of fire But there ain't any lighter That just means I'm a fighter But excuse me I ain't Bruce Lee But what does it all even mean? Forget it Let's rewind to 2014 When a guy named modi Became the pm Fast forward to the present What is he doing now? Guess it Here is a hint They weren't very pleasent (Its my first rap I know it's really bad but hey it's just the starting)

@reddog6325 LOL so true

it almost seems like forever but i often remember whenever we needed one another we would call each other like brothers hang out and have sleep overs occasionally they would try and creep up on us sort of like time did holy shit cant believe how long ago that is damn time flew and still till this day its only me and you

Martika sample

my brotherfaildown

Man I just want the real lyrics 😂

Stop talking about all the discrimination it’s a nation. I’m tired of people being unfair cause I’m tired of not caring. Like equal rights for and sexuality and racism. There are better things to talk about like the song by the Asian. By now ya’ll can hate I don’t give a fuck about that. I’m here to preach my points of view to those couldn’t catch it. I know that ya’ll are slow so I’ll explain step by step but don’t get offended cause you the one who want to listen.

We need to at least respect our soldiers they die at the front line. All of them with families as big as two to nine. I don’t really care much what you think at this point in time ‘cause I’m praying for my soldiers to make it back from the foreign lands. So I miss the old days when I didn’t have to think about this when people were always nice and didn’t have to share their gay secrets cause its hard having people hate you for what you believe and I believe that’s what my enemies think

Ive always thought this snare was much too prominent...

This is one of those instrumentals u simply enjoy and don’t even try and freestyle too 🥹

Hey Jay 70599, Can I use this? Obviously it's for an Em song but soundcloud won't let me upload what I made because of some copyright or something issue. I was hoping to get permission to use this! Thanks! Madison

Did I blow it will I remember this

What is the real name of the track on the part of the voices?

@reddog6325 thats not true because the lyrics give the song the meaning

download link?

so in this point in time I hold out this hand of mine to help up anyone who thinks my thoughts are benign and I don’t give a fuck to anyone who hates my soldiers because My cousin will be on the front line with the soldiers so Chorus

We are all supposed to be something before we get star dust , death has no address , so i can't tell you if I havent lived half yet, or I am having only half minute, in my part, bet then I also don't care about what would happen cause I have cleared the doubts, I am sharp now, getting lit and smarter, than these averages, trying to pay respect, eg

🕷🐾😎🙏

check out my slideshow of eminem toy soldiers.

i will never give up in this world/ i fight everyday, till there's no more in my way/ not physically against everybody, but mentally/ inside your brains, till i finish the game/ i won't fail this life that I'm living/ ill cry, scream, run until it's all done/ My message to everybody/ don't give up so easily/ because then their wouldn't be no purpose of us living/ keep moving forward and never corner yourself ,in this world/ your never alone/their's always somebody behind your shoulders/

walkin down the street of loneliness but it is crowded/ how could dey be founded/ bodies rise but their spirits grounded/ now im surrounded/ every soul with the same pace/ and same stone look on each and every soldier's face/ but they have a grace/ no one was ever stuck up or just f*@ked up for the crew' s sake/ but the crew needed a break/ so dey found themselves all tied up and dey drowned in the same lake/

Really liked the video! Newer to KZfaq.. Thought i'd show some love and also drop a comment, incase you're looking for some radio quality hooks. ~hooksRus
